I recently ordered a custom-made pendant from these people: http://www.stickyj.com/ I got item AX3023, a narrow, shiny stainless steel dog-tag style with the Medic Alert symbol on one side, and three lines of engraved text on the other: "Lap Band Patient" "No blind NG tubes" and "Penicillin Allergy" (All text was without the quotes) I figured I'd cover all the bases. They were great to deal with, excellent communication, very fast order processing and shipment, and very good quality workmanship on the piece. They have lots of designs to choose from, or you can make something custom just for you. I gladly recommend them, and I'd definitely order from them again.

I got mine from americanmedical-id.com

I have a sterling Bracelet and a stainless dog-tag necklace. I switch off between the two. The say the same thing.

Adjustable Gastric Band

w/Abdominal Port

No NG w/o Scope

Then I have my emergency contact info.

Be sure that whatever you get is easily identifiable as medical jewelry. If the medical symbol doesn't really stand out on it, it can be missed by first responders.

I got mine at Laurenshope.com. They're pricey but really cute. The best part is you can buy a lot of different bracelets to go with the one tag

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
